Tire Ocean Steamship Bill Defeated. The ocean steamship bill as passed by Common Coun cil at the last meeting was taken up. • Mr. Brightly said it was understood that some of the members of the Chamber were subscribers for the stock ofthisocean steamship bill, and were therefore not qua lified to consider its merits, It was the rule in all par liamentary bodies not to allow any member to vote on a Question in which he was interested. This is the com mon law of England, and has been adopted by the House of Representatives at Washington The Randall Steam ship Company is the only one in the whole State of Penn sylvania that has been incorporated, ami he knew that the bill now before the Chamber related to this company aud none other. . The Chair said he could not agree with Mr, B. , as it ■was not for certain known that any (f the members of the Chamber had subscribed to the stock, . Hr. Brightly again took the floor. said that the Mayor had vetoed the other>bill on the ground that it was unconstitutional and illegal, and the City Solicitor is of the same opinion. The Supreme Court had decided that a municipal corporation has no right to become'a subscriber to a private improvement company. Since the formor bill was before Councils, he found, in a aiew volume of opinions from the Supreme Court, just issued, that it required a special act of legislation before a municipal corporation could become a stockholder in. another corporation. Inasmuch as such authoritycan jiot be given under our Constitution, therefore it is ■utterly impossible to become subscriber to this concern. The ordinance is clearly illegal, and in direct violation :• of the Constitution of Pennsylvania. . A vote was then taken on the bill, and it was defeated bythe following vote: . Yeas— Messrs. Catherwood, Greble, Harris, Marcus, McElroy, Nicholson, Pauilin, Snoring, .Weaver—9. Nays—Messrs. Armstrong. Baird, Brightly, King, Manuel, Miller, Eichu, Wetherill, Lynd, (president)—9. ; "When the result of the vote was announced it caused a great fl utter in the Chamber among the friends of the bill, as this result was not for a moment expected. An attempt was made to have the vote taken again, which proved unsuccessful. When the roll was called several members refused to answer to their names, and one or two were absent. Common Council Bills. The bill from Common Council for the paving of Reed street was discussed at groat length and referred to a committee. The preamble and resolutions rotative to the death of Col. George C. Spear were concurred in. The ordinance for the regulation of signs, awnings and awning posts was referred to the Commmittee on Police. The bill for the repairing of Cuthbert street was con-, curred in. Alsotho bill for the paving of Manlielm street; also for the tramway ing of Benton street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. The appointment of a special committee of five, by Common Council, to consider the memorial of the in surance companies relative to the storage of coal oil in tbe city was agreed to, and Select Council appointed as its committee Messrs. Cathenvood, Wetherill, Davis, Harris, and iJane. 1 he bill providing for an extra clerk in the Chief Com missioner of Highways* office was postponed until the aoxt stated meeting. The Vote on tlie Steamslilp Hill Considered* At this part of the proceedings Mr. Lyxd left the Chair, And moved to reconsider the vote taken on the ocean steamship bill. He had voted in the negative, and had a right to make this motion. The motion was agreed to, and the bill made the special order of the day for Thurs day next, at four o’clock. ' The Chamber then adjourned until Tuesday after coon, at three o’clock. COMMON BRANCH* A communication from the Board of Health was read, asking lor an extra appropriation of $7OO to pay advanced salaries Onecomplalning of the filthy condition of the streets.

Gibson, at Cairo, 111., calling atten tion to the fact that Joseph Lemon, of Battery C, 152 d Regiment, p. Y. /.had not yet been paid bounty by Col. JSegeb&rtk. * Thefollowingmemorial was submitted: . fTothe Select and Common Couneilofthe City of Phila delphia; : * The memorial of the undersigned, presidents of insur ance companies, and agents of insurance companies doing business in said city, respectfully represents to your ho norable bodies that the storing of petroleum, and what is usually denominated coal oil, within the limits of the city, Is a matter which, in their opinion, requires the se lious~consideration -of Councils. The well-known in flammable character of such oils, and their explosive qua lities, render-their presence dangerous ih any neighbor hood- near which tney.may be stored. Your memorial - ists therefore respectfully suggest the advisability of enacting an ordinance regulating the storage of petro leum and coal oil and their products within the city in such manner as Councils may see fit aud proper. (Then follow the signatures.) Veto Messages, The Mayor returned to Council, without his approval, the ordinance “authorizing the opening of Wintli street, .from Snyder street to Buck Fano.” The reason asslgmd is that the ordinance contemplates that the city shall as sume the payment out of its treasury Of Whatever dam ages shall be incurred in consequence of the opening- of this street,; The act of April 21, IMS, requires that two thirds oi the members of Councils present at the passage of the ordinance shall have consented thereto, and that the yeas aud nays on the passage thereof shall hare been entered *n the . journal, neither of which requisites has J.*een complied with in this instance. . The oraiusnee to provide for the repairing of the streets in which gas-pipe may he laid by the Trustees of the Gas Woiks, was.also returned, because, in the lan guage,of the Mayor, “its provisions conflict with the powers which have been granted by various acts of As-. : eenibly to the several gas companies whose franchises are now exercised by the Trustees of the Gas Works, ET.d, in accordance.wherewith, a contvact for work to be performed throughout the late districts has been duly made for the prosont year.” The acts incorporating various gas companies require that ike streets broken up for the introduction of gas shall be repaired as soon as practicable, by/lie companies, at their own expense. The consideration of the ordinances were postponed for the present. Appropriations.

Also, a resolution authorizing the paying of Mayland street, Sixth ward, with tramwaystone, and the gra ding of Taylor street, Nineteenth ward, which were adopted. Jlr. I'owEßi of the Committee on Poor, reported an ordinance appropriating to the Guardians of the Poor $3,P00, to provide for additional boilers at the Alms house, and also to meet the advanced price of coaL Agreed to. Claims Against the City* Mr. Smith, of the Committee on Claims, reported an ordinance, appropriating $588.63 to pay certain claims against the city; among them was one of $lOO, by a Co hen, which occasioned much debate. It was stated that , the claim of the latter had been before Councils for eighteen years, and had been always set aside. Mr. Aloons, one of the members of the committee, said that it wai resolved to give Mr. Cohen $10i) in order to get rid of his importuning; There was no justice in the claim, but it is worth that much to get rid of him. The ordi nance was agreed to. /Resolutions of instruction to-the Chief Commissioner of Highways, to have paved Wharton, Summer, and other streets, were submitted; and referred to the Com mittee on Highways. : Election In Joint Convention* Select Council having come into joint convention with Common Connell for the purpose of electing port war dens and gas trustees, Mr. Barger nominated for port wardens the follow ing gentlemen: Samuel Megargee, .John W.

She gave the assumed name of Emma Smith. Once she may nave passed for a woman, so far as relates to facial develop ments, but, art having, been called into requisition, her beauty may not be considered even skin deep. She has been operating to a considerable extent upon proprie tors of first-class stores in the city of New York. Be ing arraigned for a hearing, the following evidence was elicited: George H.

Expense was no iobject to her; all she desired was something to please par and lead the fashion. • • “Pa,” however, had only given her a hundred dol lars for that afternoon, and already she had expended fifty of it. at Mrs. Walters , for bonnets. “I will take it,” said she, carelessly,taking out a fifty-dollar United States Treasury note from her sym metrical povtmounaie, and handing: it towards the salesman. In a moment, as though something had just struck her fancy, she quickly -said: *• No, : no.” (with drawing her hand and restoring the note to her port wonnaie.) ‘I must use that for another purpose; ['ll make par pay for that, in .the morning. You can keep the mantilla until morning, and I’ll try and get par to advance me enough to pay for it.” The clerk was?ow more anxious than ever to effect ‘a sale, and being probably afraid that par •••‘would not be in a good hnraOr before dinner time, suggested that the could be sent to the St. Nicholas on that after noon. 1 -»• oi “0!

The lad took the epistle, and hastened to the store. Mr. Hill received the note. It read as follows: Hear Sir: - My pa is not awake. I will call in the morning and settle. Yours ' E.

She was traced to Philadelphia and arrested yesterday as above stated. It is said that she -has operated to a considerable extent in New York quite recently. Alleged liibel Case* Charles N. Pine, alleged to be the publisher of the Democratic header , appeared before Alderman Beitler, last evening, on a--further hearing on tho charge of having published in said paper a libel reflecting upon the moral or. loyal character of' Mr. "Win. B. Thomas,- Collector ofthe Port of Philadelphia. -The first witness .called was Robert C. Smith, who testified that he was the foremau of the Evening Jour nal office, and that although he had no interest in the-. Democratic Leader, yet he declined to answer as to tho publishers, on the ground that it might criminate him self. After considerable of a debate on this important point, becween'Mr. W. S. Pierce for the prosecutions and Mr. J. C. Vandyke for the defence, the question was finally submitted as follows: . Question. Please state upon the oath you have taken’ who aro the publishers, if you know, of a newspaper called the Democratic Leader, published at No. 103 South Third street, in thejfity of Philadelphia. ‘ The alderman stated that as the witness had already testified that he had.no interest in the paper, a yes or no could not criminate him. Answer. 1 decline to answer the question, because there are certain social relations in all businesses of life which should be held sacred by every honorable man; also, because Mr. Thomas, the'prosecutor,’made a threat that he would hold me particeps criminis in this case. At this stage ofthe proceedings the witness was al lowed to. retire. . Janies Moore, pressman, and Charles "Wilson, repor ter, were called to the stand, but neither of them could say that the defendant was the publisher of the paper, not havingbeen employed in their respective professions by him. At the request of the counsel for the prosecution, the case.was continued until next Monday afternoon. [Before Mr. Alderman White. 1 The Exploded State Saving Fund. George H. Hart, Charles G. Imlay, A. F. CUeesbo xongh, Daniel Haddock, Joseph Edwards, John Mc- Clure, J. H. Hays, H. R. Coggshall, officers and di rectors of tlie.State Saving Fund, a moneyed institution that exploded a- couple of years ago, were ar raigned before Alderman White, yesterday. after noon, on complaint of Mr- John I). Roberts, a depo sitor, who charged them with conspiracy to defraud deponent. H. Hubble, Esq., appeafed for the prosecu tion, and S. B. Perkins, Esq., N. Sharpless, Esq., and J. Robinson, Esq. , for the defence. The only witness examined was Mr. Roberts, the deponent. According to the facts elicited, ho made a deposit of the sum of three hund>ed dollars in the State Saving Fund, in the month of December, IS6O. 1-Ie handed - the money to Mr. J. H. Hays, a teller, with whom he had some conversation on the stability of the institution. Be was assured'by Hays that it was perfectly sound. On this point he had quite a conversation, Re'simply de sired a place of safe keeping for his money for only four weeks.. He told Mr. Bays that lie had beeu duped by a concern in Walnut street, and was therefore anxious not to pat his money into any institution that was not perfectly reliable.' Mr. Hays assured him that the State Saving Fund was reliable. The mouoy was deposited. Shortly after Christmas day, of the same month, being about two weeks after he made his deposit, he went-to the banking house bn Dock street, be low Third, to draw his money out. when, to his utter astonishment and discomfiture, he' learned for the first time that its business had closed and au assignment made. Witness said that at about the same time he had a conversation with Mr. Imlay, treasurer of the fund, who admitted that it was a hard casB that he should lose his money. The treasurer further stated that some arrangement was making by which the recent depositors would be paid back-their money. He has never, re covered the money so deposited. The witness under went a long examination, but the above is the pith of the charge. The case is held under advisement. . : [Before Mr. Alderman Devlin. ] Violent Assault and Battery. John Agnew was arraigned, yesterday, on the charge of assault and battery, with intent to kill two young men named John and James .Megan. It seems chat a quarrel ensued on the Delaware front, above Maiden street, during which the defendant beat them with a stick of wood; stone, or other weapon. James had his head badly cut, and John was much injured about the body. The accused was ordered to enter bail in the sum of $3,000, to answer at court. . gffgg -ggfl PHILADELPHIA BOARD OF TRADE.

Not a few of the worst disorders that afflict mankind arise from the corruption that accumulates in the blood. Of all the discoveries that have .been made to purge it out, nonefcan equal in effect HELMBOLD’S COMPOUNDEXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. It cleans es and renovates the blood, instils the vigorOfhealth into the system, and purges out the humors which make disease. It. stimulates the healthy functions of the body, and expels the disorders that grow and rankle in the blood. Its extraordinary virtues are not yet widely known, but when they are, it will no longer be a ques tion what remedy to employ in the great variety of af flicting diseases that require an alterative remedy. Such a remedy,' that could oe relied on, has long beefl-sought for, and now, for the first time, the public have one on which they can depend. Our space here does not admit certificates to show its. effects, but -the trial of a single bottle will show to the sick that it has virtues surpassing anything they have ever taken. Two tablespoonsful of. the EXTRACT of SARSAPA RILLA added to a pint of water, is equal to the Lisbon Diet Drink, and one bottle is fully equal to a gallon of the Syrup of Sarsaparilla, or the Decoction, as usually made.' THESE EXTRACTS HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TO USE IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY, and are'also in very general use in all the STATS HOSPITALS and PUBLIC SANITARY INSTITUTIONS throughout the land, as well as in private practice, and are considered as invaluable remedies.

At.times I was very gloomy, and what caused me to feel worse was myinability to collect my thoughts vigorously on any subject; suffered much from swimming in the head, and much from fears of getting insane, for my physicians had told me that I had symptoms of fits; but, after persevering for a long time in the old school remedies, and in the homoeopathic, ■also, I was informed my case was beyond cure-.: - vi Seeing the advertisement of Prois.

Whenever by the amendments new rates of license are established, the new license will be assessed at the new rates, and. in all cases where the present license expires September Ist, 1863, the new license will cover a period of eight months, and must he asaessed}to pay. two-third 3 of the yearly^tax. When an assessment.for license has been made, upon neglect or refusal to give the list or make the application within the time required, and the. assessment is re turned in the annual list, the fifty per centum penalty prescribed in section IT nvusi. be added; and cannot be remitted,, either by the assessor or collector. By the act, March 3, 1863, the penalty of two years' imprisonment is added to the punishment provided in former acts, for those who.fail to, take out liuense when required by the excise laws of the United States. The former annual assessment was much embarrassed for want of information on the part of citizens, with re gard to the duties imposed on them by the excise law. It is .manifest that with the knowledge now attained, on the part of the tax-payer, and with the assistance rendered by this circular, that ignorance of the law can no longer be pleaded by delinquents in the hope of avoiding the penalties provided.
